Condition
A striking piece of good overall appearance. The suite has been reupholstered and the foam is brittle, suggesting it is deteriorating and will need to be replaced, consistent with foam of this age. Lacquer is fresh, with minor marks and scratches overall, suggesting the finish is likely to have been renewed. The smaller single chairs have crazing to the tops and sides. Further images are available upon request.
